Narrative:

We were cleared for a visual approach to follow a Y jet for runway 12 at dulles. As Y touched down, we were about 3 1/2 mi final behind. He proceeded to use the entire 10000' of runway for rollout and exited at the end. Iad tower never asked him to expedite or take the high speed taxiway to the parallel. Due to his procrastination, our T/D was delayed until well down the runway we had to 'hold it off' until Y turned off at the end. We had the Y jet in sight throughout our landing so there was never a doubt about a collision problem, just a question about our landing or going around! Although he was certainly well in his right, I thought it was poor judgement on his part. Iad tower didn't make a comment one way or the other, no overctling here! I relearned that you have to take into consideration who you're following on approach, some carriers definitely slow things down, while others keep the speed up!

Title: ACR MLG LANDED WHILE PREVIOUS LNDG LGT STILL ON RWY.

Narrative: WE WERE CLRED FOR A VISUAL APCH TO FOLLOW A Y JET FOR RWY 12 AT DULLES. AS Y TOUCHED DOWN, WE WERE ABOUT 3 1/2 MI FINAL BEHIND. HE PROCEEDED TO USE THE ENTIRE 10000' OF RWY FOR ROLLOUT AND EXITED AT THE END. IAD TWR NEVER ASKED HIM TO EXPEDITE OR TAKE THE HIGH SPD TXWY TO THE PARALLEL. DUE TO HIS PROCRASTINATION, OUR T/D WAS DELAYED UNTIL WELL DOWN THE RWY WE HAD TO 'HOLD IT OFF' UNTIL Y TURNED OFF AT THE END. WE HAD THE Y JET IN SIGHT THROUGHOUT OUR LNDG SO THERE WAS NEVER A DOUBT ABOUT A COLLISION PROB, JUST A QUESTION ABOUT OUR LNDG OR GOING AROUND! ALTHOUGH HE WAS CERTAINLY WELL IN HIS RIGHT, I THOUGHT IT WAS POOR JUDGEMENT ON HIS PART. IAD TWR DIDN'T MAKE A COMMENT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, NO OVERCTLING HERE! I RELEARNED THAT YOU HAVE TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHO YOU'RE FOLLOWING ON APCH, SOME CARRIERS DEFINITELY SLOW THINGS DOWN, WHILE OTHERS KEEP THE SPD UP!
